What Do You Do When Youre Told Two Different Things?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Long Beach, CA

so im extremely bothered and upset.

I had went to urgent care on sunday, and she sent me to the ER. she was afraid of my ovary twisting and dying or appendicitis.

So i go to the ER, (i tried a different one, just to say i did, theyre worse than the one i usually go to.) So the ultrasound tech told me i had cysts on my ovaries and on my uterus. But in her report, she said everything looked fine. I had asked the NP, why am i in so much pain if nothing is wrong. She said it could be… read more

You need to get all the answers you need, if dr 1 doesnt make sense. You go to dr.2, go to as many drs as you can before you decide on any surgery. Before I was diagnosed with endometriosis, I went to many drs I lost count. I just told them my symptoms and never said what the previous dr said.

Honey, I feel you! I'm not gonna lie, it took me years, almost a decade to finally find all the right drs for me who actually believed in me and not accused me of drug seeking...this whole techs, nurses and drs telling us one thing but writing another in our charts, I don't understand it, but yes they do it and it pisses me off!!! My advice is even though you want to give up, DONT! Just going to have to put more pressure on these drs and trying time find you an actual Dr who knows what they are doing. Most drs are not good. They might be smart, but they are still human and if u aren't text book most dismiss u and give up on you. But I promise there are great drs out there. Few. But they exsist. Just gotta keep going to them till u find the right one who truly listens and cares. You will be in my prayers for sure. Has your primary ever referred you to a obgyn specialist? Thats so important. I had to beg drs to do surgery on me in the past. Actually most of them till I finally found the right ones for me. Remember you are the only one who will take your pain seriously at first, but you don't give up on finding the right drs!!! I've been in your position I get how hard it is. But things can only be is bad for so long. Love your way!!!!

And I'm 36 and have been dealing with this since I was 14. Going to hundreds of drs,tried every single ERs around the state, and outside. It was so frustrating feeling like I was getting no where. But finally these past 5 years or so, I finally found all the right team of drs. I'd love to help in any way I can. Where do u live?
